This will be a better test of Liverpool’s recovery this season after the traumas of the last campaign. They arrive at the Emirates with a pristine record to date, but with only one win at Arsenal in 15 years and with the hosts intent upon making amends for their opening weekend home defeat to West Ham. Arsène Wenger’s side looked more like their spritely selves at Selhurst Park last Sunday and pose far more of a threat with the forward propulsion of Alexis Sánchez in their ranks. Liverpool cannot permit the Chilean the same space to revel afforded him by Palace. Dominic Fifield
